michelle obama stole the show on tuesday night with a heartfelt story about her husband. i like this when she talked about the president's reaction at night when late at night near midnight, he would read the letters with very real problems. >> i see the concern in his eyes. and i hear the determination in his voice as he tells me, you won't believe what these folks are going through, michelle. it's not right. we've got to keep working to fix this. we've got so much more to do. >> i believe her. >> yeah, best speech by a first lady i have ever seen. and you know, all due respect to my own mother and i haven't reviewed all of elnoeleanor roosevelt's remarks. she humanizes and warms up president obama. you can see her as she describes it, you can see him sitting at the desk, worrying about ordinary people. ann romney gave a nice talk about her own husband as well, but i got the feeling, and i don't want to knock ann romney, that was fine, but with barack and michelle obama when they're talking about their lives together, they did live the american dream. ann and mitt romney
